There actually IS a safest seating section to sit in
Okay, this is up for debate, but a 2015 study by TIME says that the back of the plane is safest. It found that the seats in the back third of the aircraft had a 32% fatality rate, compared with 39% in the middle third and 38% in the front third.
As for the worst seats? On the aisle in the middle third of the cabin have a 44% fatality rate.

Good factoid.
I think i posted it upthread.
I came across it in a book as an aside - can't remember the book.
Edit, you missed out the bit about the future dave dee supposedly being inspired after picking up a guitar from the crash, possibly cochrane's, and playing it back at the police station.

Sorry, don't understand.
You mean you are consciously repeating stuff?

No, I meant the secondary story about the guitar was learned about from the comments following mine.

""According to her(Bridget Hitler) so-called memoirs, in 1912 he was visited by his younger half-brother Adolf who got off a train at Lime Street Station before spending the best part of five months spending his time wandering around the docks and so on, not learning any English and eventually going back to Vienna in April 1913."

Absolute fact.
This has been posted before and I quoted some evidence.
Hitler was in Liverpool.
He visited a distant relative in Toxteth
When he came back out his tank was on bricks and the tracks had been nicked.

No. It's totally true and a proven fact.

So 99% fatality rate on a plane. Not good at all.
